Who is going to get the first model S in Washington ? My number is 296 for a signature S that is due in August . Someone must have a lower number than that and has made the big commitment. What reg number and date do you have?

Epley | 5. Juli 2012

I'm S 564. I was quoted September, but I have a friend who is S 8xx whose contract says August.

I'm Sig #267 and my MVPA agreement quoted a September delivery. Hoping that it is sooner though. If you look here:

Ok, I couldn't resist. sig #23 here on the east side. As you already know, the founders run is now in production with the sigs to follow. I'm betting on mid aug. My sales cntact confirmed it--the number, at least. I guess we will wait and see how the delivery dates unfold.

@robert27,

Congrats! It's going to be hard to beat that number. Very jealous! Please let us know when you get a solid delivery date!

@robert27,
Any word yet?

robert27 | 25. Juli 2012

Nope, but I'm anticipating delivery of the charger as the sign that the delivery date will follow. No charger yet.

FYI - The first Washington State Model S delivery happened this weekend! I do know it was a Pearl White car that was delivered out of the Seattle/Bellevue store. I don't know if it was a Founders car or if it was a production car or what reservation number it was. But we can say that Washington State has it's first Model S on the road!

Thats awsome!

JimBl | 1. August 2012

Great news, sure would love to know who and what feedback on the delivery experience was.

JimBl | 5. September 2012

@robert27,

Hi, any delivery yet on your Sig #23?

KarenB | 10. September 2012

My SSL VIN #32 was delivered today in the Redmond/Bear Creek area. It's gorgeous! Several area Roadster owners came by to watch the sedan as it was unloaded. Very exciting. Look for my Signature Red S on the road and give me a wave!

Epley | 11. September 2012

Congratulations, Karen! Can't wait to join you!

olanmills | 11. September 2012

Oh cool, maybe I'll see you around somewhere on the east side! Enjoy it!

JimBl | 12. September 2012

KarenB, Please let us know about your experience with the car.
Congratulations!

The good news, just got notified of deliver dates, TM says target is sometime between sept 29 thru OCT 18. I will get confirmation 2 wks prior to delivery. I am having them deliver to my home in Edmonds.

The bad news, the HPC may not be available until after delivery. they suggest I may have to have a temp solution and then have the electrician come back to redo for final. I said that would be unacceptable.

Signature S #296

JimBl | 19. September 2012

Update to the bad news mentioned above - talked with my electrician and he can do 90% of the work installing the temporary power solution so I am feeling better. Should be good to go.

Received my initial delivery contact email last night. Window for Regular Sig #267 is October 8-22nd. Delivery will be to my home in Redmond. HPWC is supposed to be shipping in November. Also Tesla will be registering the Model S for us, so they needed a copy of my drivers license and current insurance card to do so.

No VIN number yet. Also I was asked if I would like a front license plate installed at the time of delivery (I opted in for it). If not, they can install it later at the local service center. They also noted that Washington State law requires a front license plate.

The wait is almost over!

olanmills | 25. September 2012

Cool! What color is yours going to be?

Also going back a bit, I had mentioned elsewhere seeing a white Model S in August. It's probably the one mentioned by blurry_eyed in this thread as being delivered just before July 31st.

JimBl | 10. Oktober 2012

I am happy to report that I will be taking delivery of my Red Sig S on this coming Saturday or Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No sleep until then. :) Happy Dance Time !!!

blurry_eyed | 10. Oktober 2012

Congrats JimBl! Curious, what is your VIN#?

Epley | 11. Oktober 2012

Awesome! Congrats JimBl!

kjwcanary | 11. Oktober 2012

Congrats Jim!

Hoping to join you by the end of the year - P2159.

JimBl | 11. Oktober 2012

vin number sans first 12 characters is 00335. TM is going to have a town car pick up my wife and I to take us to seattle service center since they are not able to deliver to my home in Edmonds. (schedule conflict with delivery van)

Epley | 12. Oktober 2012

@JimBl

Interesting!

blurry_eyed | 12. Oktober 2012

I've been given VIN # 532, still waiting for an update on delivery as I'm in my window right now between October 8-22nd.

Last night at Bellevue Square, I saw a Red Model S pull into the parking garage where the Tesla reserved section is. Then when I was leaving the mall with the family, we saw the same Red Model S pulling out right at the same time the Black test drive car was pulling out, very nice!

Captain_Zap | 12. Oktober 2012

I was just going to ask if any of the WA State deliveries with a window of Oct 22-Nov 5 got a VIN yet. Our credit union is just waiting on the VIN.

Who did you get the VIN from and did you initiate the contact?

Captain_Zap | 12. Oktober 2012

Also, our CU is wondering about coordination of titling. I got the impression that Tesla was going to do it but the CU offers the service as well.

If Tesla does it then it seems that they would have to coordinate with the CU to get the proper lienholder info on the paperwork.
